IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO FIND THE CONTACT INFORMATION FOR THE PHILADEPHIA REGIONAL OFFICE AND INSURANCE CENTER THIS IS OF NO SURPRISE TO ME. IT SEEMS THIS IS THE WAY THEY LIKE IT AND SO VETERANS ARE UNABLE TO CONTACT THOSE RESPONSABLE FOR THE EMPLOYEES WHO DENIE CLAIMS WITHOUT EVER LOOKING INTO MEDICAL RECORDS. HAVE YOU FILED A CLAIM AND ARE UNABLE TO FIND OUT THE STATUS OF YOUR CLAIM OR THE DECISION REVIEW OFFICER WHO IS SUPPOSEDLY FOLLOWING THE VETERANS CLAIMS ASSISTANCE ACT. THEN FEEL FREE TO USE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION TO HELP GET AROUND THE 1800-827-1000 AND 215-842-2000 PHONE REPS. YOU CAN REACH THE SERVICE CENTER MANAGER EILEEN KOSTIC AT 215-842-2000 EXT 4292 WITH AN EMAIL ADDRESS BEING EILEEN.KOSTIC@VA.GOV HER SUPERVISOR THE DIRECTOR FOR THIS FACILITY IS LILLIE JACKSON LILLIE.JACKSON@VA.GOV I DON'T KNOW HER EXTENTION YET. MY DECISION REVIEW OFFICERS NAME IS BERNADETTE ROESNER AT 215-842-3833 BERNADETTE.ROESNER@VA.GOV

THE PEOPLE WHO ARE RESPONSABLE FOR MY CLAIM BEING PROCESSED WITHOUT MY MEDICAL RECORDS BEING CONSIDERED SEEM TO HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. CONGRESS HAS DONE LITTLE TO NOTHING THAT I AM AWAIR OF. RICHARD WREN DIRECTOR OF THE LUZERNE COUNTY VETERANS AFFAIRS OFFICE REFUSED TO CONTACT THE DECISION REVIEW OFFICER FOR ME. HE SAID IT WOULD SLOW DOWN THE CLAIMS PROCESS AND THAT IT WAS BETTER TO SIMPLY APPEAL A WRONG DECISION. I DON'T AGREE WITH THIS AND I HOPE YOU DON'T EITHER. ALL EVIDENCE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED THE FIRST TIME TO SAVE TIME AND MONEY.I AM ALMOST 10 YEARS AFTER MY FIRST DENIED REQUEST FOR DISABILITY COMPENSTION AND HAVE YET TO GET THE DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS TO AGREE AMONGST ITSELF WHAT AVASCULAR NECROSIS IS AND WEATHER OR NOT I HAVE IT. THE FACT IS I HAVE BONE CHIPS IN MY ANKLE AND I AM NOT A HAPPY CAMPER. THE PAIN THE SWELLING THE THROBBING. HOW CAN ANY OF THIS NOT BE COMPENSATABLE WHEN A PTSD WARRENTS DISABILITY. IF YOU DIDN'T THINK YOU WOULD BE PUT UNDER STRESS KILLING TERRORIST THEN YOU SHOULD THINK REAL HARD ABOUT LEAVING THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME. MY PERSONAL OPPINION ON PTSD. A CONDITION I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY DOCTOR BELIKOVA I HAVE YET THE DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS HAS YET TO PROVIDE ANY SORT OF DISABILITY FOR IT IN MY CASE.
